Answer:

Cost incurred while running a restaurant:

Salary paid = $200,000 per year

Ingredients cost =  $50,000 per year

Before running this restaurant, he was earning $150000 per year.

Here, we are using a concept called opportunity cost.

Opportunity cost refers to the benefit of a commodity that is forgone to produce one extra unit of some other commodity.

It is also refers to the value of next best alternative that is given up by choosing some other alternative.

In this question, opportunity cost of running a restaurant is the income that is earned when he was a lawyer, i.e, $1,50,000 per year. This is the income that is foregone when he started running a restaurant.

Alliance Products purchased equipment that cost $120,000. It had an estimated useful life of four years and no residual value. T
poizon [28]

Answer:

Alliance should record a loss of $5000.

Explanation:

Depreciation : The depreciation is the amount which is charged every year. It is a decrease value in the asset due to obsolescence, tear and wear value, usage of time, etc.

There are many methods for calculation the depreciation such as straight line method (SLM), Written down value method (WDV) and many more.

In the question, the straight line method is used.

In straight line method, the deprecation is charged with same value over the useful life of asset.

So, the calculation of depreciation is given below:

Since,

The purchase amount of equipment = $120,000

Useful life  = 4 years

Salvage value = 0

Sale value at the end of the third year = $25,000 cash.

By using above information, we have to calculate the depreciation for 3 years as in the end of the 3 year, the asset is sold.

Depreciation Formula for SLM method  = (Purchase cost- Salvage value) ÷ useful life

=  ($120,000 - 0) ÷ 4

= $30,000

So, the amount of depreciation for all year is $30,000

Depreciation for 1 year = $120,000 - $30,000 = $90,000

Depreciation for 2nd year = $90,000 - $30,000 = $60,000

Depreciation for 3rd year = $60,000 - $30,000 - $25,000 = -$5000

In the 3rd year, the alliance have a loss of $5000 after selling asset.

Hence, Alliance should record a loss of $5000.

Wes Motors has total assets of $98,300, net working capital of $11,300, owners' equity of $41,600, and long-term debt of $38,600
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Current Assets = $29,400

Explanation:

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Owner's Equity

$98,300 = (Long Term Debt + Current Liabilities ) + Owner's Equity

$98,300 = $38,600 + Current Liabilities + $41,600

Current Liabilities = $98,300 - $38,600 - $41,600  

Current Liabilities = $18,100

Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

$11,300 =  Current Assets - $18,100

Current Assets = $11,300 +$18,100  

Current Assets = $29,400

11. Brooke Company desires net income of $720,000 when it has $2,000,000 of fixed costs and variable costs of 60% of sales. Cont
Mila [183]

Answer:

b. $2,720,000

Explanation:

The contribution margin is what is left after subtracting the variable cost from the sales.

From there, the company pays their fixed cost and the rest is net income.

In this case you have a company desiring to get 720,000 net income after paying their 2,000,000 fixed cost

So we come up with with formula:

Contribution Margin - Fixed Cost = Net Income

Replacing the know values, we get the unknow value. Like it was a solve for X question:

X - 2,000,000 = 720,000\\X = 2,000,000 + 720,000\\X = 2,720,000
